Ecoplanta Molecular Solutions, S.L. (Ecoplanta) is a Spain-based project company developing a waste-to-chemicals facility at the Tarragona petrochemical hub in Catalonia. The plant is designed to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste into renewable methanol and other circular intermediates for fuels and chemical production.
By integrating advanced gasification and catalytic synthesis with existing industrial infrastructure, Ecoplanta aims to reduce the carbon intensity of chemical feedstocks, expand domestic supply of low-carbon fuels, and support waste management and circular-economy objectives in Spain and the European Union.
A new 100 MW electrolyzer at Petronor will produce 15,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually, cutting 167,000 tons of CO₂ emissions and creating 900 jobs. Completion is set for 2029.
Starting 2026, renewable marine fuels, including biofuels and methanol, will be supplied at the Port of Barcelona, supporting decarbonization and circular economy goals.
